Cowboys

Don't throw away that cardboard box!It can become a rustic background.I use a "floss pick" meant for dental useto separate the top layer of flat paper fromthe corrugated part.Place the point of the pick in the valleyof the corrugation, hold it parallel, slightly tilttowards where the paper is still attachedand slide the floss pick down the valley.Keep repeating until the toplayer of flat paper is removed.

The mini corrugated paper on this cardwas part the packing on a fragile Christmas gift.It has been cut out with a Spellbinders Label,as has the Wildlife Enterprises hat and glovesimage. Both have had the edges spongedwith dark brown ink to add depth.

The western medallions at the top and bottomhave been created using three different punches.

The oval rider silhouette image from Sutter Enterprises,has been stamped in dark brown,cut out with a Spellbinders ovaland the edges sponged.

This is me!

This blog has been a way for me to share my love of paper crafting. If you scroll down through the posts you will note that a lot of the cards have scripture quotes as their focal point. So it is in my life, God is my focal point, then the rest falls into place.
Occasionally I also share parts of my life as a woman who has always lived on a ranch. The daily presentation of God's glorious creation are a constant source of praise and pleasure for me. Please enjoy your time on my blog and leave a comment. I love the comments.
